Brisbane Ranges, Victoria.

TREES PLANTED

Planting day at the Brisbane Ranges
Hi Colleen

The 300 trees and shrubs that you provided to the Brisbane Ranges Landcare Group have now all been planted, guarded and watered in at Balliang. The trees have extended an existing plantation and windbreak which was being extended very slowly prior to Fifteen Trees thus making a major extension possible.

Thank you to you and your supporters for organising the trees.  Your generous gift will assist in helping the area redress some of the damage done by past years of tree and vegetation clearing.

Kind Regards – David Goble (Brisbane Landcare Co-ordinator).

The  trees  and native shrubs were organised by Brad Tattersall of Tattersall Funeral Care in Werribee. Brad wanted to acknowledge that we all have an effect  on our native environment and made a commitment to plant one tree for every funeral service held in 2011.  Tattersall Funerals are now managed by Tobin Brothers.

Thank you Brad, your contribution to the Brisbane Ranges region has been significant.

Cheers – Colleen

According to Sustainability Victoria, the average Australian lifestyle produces 15,000kg of carbon per year. If that sounds like a lot, it is! Over its lifetime, a tree can collect and store 268kg. This means, we each need to plant 58 trees per year to bring our individual carbon production down to zero. A little tricky for most of us to do in our own backyards, and this is where ‘A Subscription for the Planet’ comes in.

For hotels, embracing sustainability can strengthen brand loyalty, enhance their reputation, and help differentiate them in a competitive market. In this way, sustainable initiatives are not just good for the planet – they also make strong business sense, creating a win-win for hotels, their guests, and the communities and ecosystems they support.

300 TREES PLANTED

There’s something quietly powerful about a person who decides, on their own, to do something good for the planet. No fanfare, no corporate mandate – just a simple choice to put a few trees in the ground. When hundreds of individuals make that same choice, something remarkable happens. Native forests are restored, wildlife corridors are rebuilt, and community groups across Australia get to do the work they love. So if you’ve ever purchased trees through Fifteen Trees, thank you.
